FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1891. . j
JYllkesbsro Needs Manufactories, j
By all means, Wilkesboro
should turn her attention to
ward manufacturing. In order
for towns to build rapidly and
permanently, it must proceed
upon a manufacturing basisJ
The mercantile business is a
bout full in this section at pre
.ent. We must turn our atten
tion to manufacturing.
In all the essentials of posi
tion and surrounding advan
tages, Wilkesboro stands favor
ably comparing with any rival.
Wilkesboro is splendidly
situated for factories, being
upon the banks of the Yadkin,
.and near the mouth of Reddies
River, Moravian and Cub
Creeks, with plenty of water
jpower. j
It is surrounded by a section
.affoidrng immense supplies of
raw material. j
Her hard woods are unlimit
ed. 'Furniture factories, etc.,
can find no better location, j
The fruit of this section is
the finest in the world and is
grown in great abundance.
Canning factories could not be
more advantageously situated
than here.
Tobacco factories would be
at home here, in the center of
X3 fine tobacco lands as the
globe affords. j
A stoam tannery could not
find a better location. Tan
bark can be had cheap, with an
immense supply to depend up
on. Part of the hide supply
would have to come" from the
western markets; but the ad
vantages of cheap bark largely
excell the small disadvantage
in procuring hides. j.
The markets of the world are
mow in easy reach of Wilkes
boro. "The half has never yet been
told." 1
" " ' i
If the Subtreasury, the money
loaning scheme, promises such
relief, what is the trouble in
Kansas? What are those people
cutting up about? Has not the
money borrowing and - loaning
business on land out there about
bankrupted the farmers, at least
some of them; then where is the
wisdom of .trying to make Jit
easy for every farmer to get his
lands in the terrible clutches of
mortgages, etc.? If our farm
ers would raise their own corn
and bacon here in Wilkes, in
stead of borrowing money ,to
buy Western meat and corn,
their condition would improve.'
But if they depend on borrow
ingmore money to send out jof
tr;.e country for eatibles, we see
no hope of better times.
Next week will decide two
interesting elections those in
New York and Ohio. The in.
dications point to the election
of the Democratic ticket in New
Yorsj bj 10,000 majority. In
Ohio the matter is about in a
balance, with an inclination to
ward Republican . success.
Campbell, the Democratic can
didate for Gov. has made a bril
liant canvass, and but for the
third party ticket, would be
ure of being elected. But! it
looks now as though McKinley
would get there by the help j of
the third party.
If the rain-makers can put
up a good job in the snow lino,
woare certain wo can procure
them a right good job at this
place, for the benefit of the fel
lows who want to hunt rabbits.

Col. McClure's speech at the
Exposition last week was full
of wisdom, friendliness for the
So ith, and good cheer for our
pe6ple. Col. McClure is a Nor
thern man, who has always
shown sympathy tor our po-
pld, and being in a position to
do so, has done perhaps more
thiua any other private citizen
to bring the sections to-gether,
in peace and harmony. North
Carolina honors herself in hon-
or: ng him. j
'. f the Democratic party and
th 3 best interests of the State
ar 3 saved, it will have to be
done through patriotic Alli
arjeemen. Out-side advice, e
ven from men who have, spent
tha best part of their lives in
m iking North Carolina what
she is, only appears to irritate
thle Alliance, so great has prej
udice been worked up. The
Alliance leaders who have m-
fU.med this prejudice, together
w th those who have depreca
te 1 this wrong proceeduro all
th e while should make an effort
to heal the difference. . They
ct n do it, if they will.
They have got the rain-mak-ing
business in pretty good
si ape, and can make rain right
a! ong without asking the Lord
rx uch about it. The Republi
can administrations from
Grant on down have had as ht
tl a as possible, to do with the
Lord, and they've got the peo
p e in a bad fix by it. If they
k iep on much longer the Lord
nor the people either will have
much voice in running the
things in this Government. .

happily humming a familiar
